A
hero to Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama, Anglo-American intellectual
Thomas Paine was a radical pamphleteer, political theorist/ propagandist,
and activist. Paine, the young Lincoln, and Obama—all three—are
sons of the Enlightenment. On behalf of a group of men who wished to
convey a message to humanity, a peculiar monument known as the Georgia
Guidestones, or America’s Stonehenge, was commissioned in 1979
to recognize Thomas Paine and to etch in stone his enlightened viewpoint.

10
Commandments; 29 Programs

Engraved
in eight different languages on four giant stones that support a common
capstone is a specific message to humanity summarized in Ten Commandments
that, when aligned with the President’s recent State of the Union
address, outlines an agenda for establishing the coveted age of reason.
Its four themes follow: (1) global governance, (2) population control,
(3) man's relationship to nature, and (4) new spirituality.[1]

•
Global Governance

The
group that commissioned the Georgia Guidestones is likely one of many
similar groups working together to establish a new, geo-political world
order under elitist rule. One Guidestones’ commandment is to “avoid
petty laws and useless officials.” In Obama’s words, ”the
greatest nation on earth cannot keep conducting its business by drifting
from one manufactured crisis to the next. … The American people
have worked too hard, for too long, rebuilding from one crisis to see
their elected officials cause another.” This regrettable dilemma
signals need for “soft law” at the global level. Hence,
if a useless Congress won’t act, Obama will (via executive order).[2]

•
Population and Reproduction Control

The
Guidestones’ first commandment calls for exceedingly drastic population
control, to which Obama nods by (1) thrusting women of childbearing
age into combat, (2) sanctioning “sustainable” gay marriage,
and (3) minimizing seed-planting as a sign of manliness (pronouncing
rightly that fatherhood requires more). ”If you work hard and
meet your responsibilities,” Obama promises, “you can get
ahead, no matter … who[m] you love.” Indeed, the Violence
Against Women Act expands funding to same-sex couples and, for the first
time in history, unconstitutionally allows tribal jurisdiction over
non-tribal men accused of abuse.[3]

•
Man’s Relationship to Nature

As
freedom in the Global Commons is said to bring ruin to all, radical
environmentalism proposes a form of neo-feudalism, enforced out of “necessity”
to prevent humanity from becoming (in the words of Guidestones) “a
cancer on earth.” Leaving room for nature, Obama insists, “We
must do more to combat climate change.” Several of Obama’s
proposed programs affirm a Guidestones’ command to “balance
personal rights with social duties.” Specifically, the President’s
proposed Energy Security Trust and his challenge to cut wasted energy
in half promise to “speed the transition to more sustainable sources
of energy.”[4]

•
New Spirituality

According
to the Guidestones, one must “rule passion, faith, and tradition
with tempered reason.” Case in point: When initially sworn in
as president, Obama identified America broadly as "a nation of
Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus—and nonbelievers."
Obama’s highly publicized speech to the United Nations promised
to “unite humanity with a living new language,” for (says
Obama) “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet
of Islam.” Indeed, the emerging Global Civic Ethic promotes illumined
groupthink; “black-and-white” Bible fundamentalism simply
doesn’t cut the mustard. Syncretism distinguishes America’s
rational, duly tempered new spirituality stripped of Judeo-Christian
“passion, faith, and tradition.” "America and Islam
are not exclusive and need not be in competition,” explained Obama.
“Instead, they overlap and share common principles of justice
and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings."[5]

Cradle-to-Grave
Indoctrination

That
most Americans have never heard of the Georgia Guidestones reflects
the degree of control over what they think.[6]
Dramatic paradigm shift requires cradle-to-grave education (better,
indoctrination); and Obama aims to deliver. Today’s public education
purposes to pinpoint, nurture, and place illumined, group conscious,
politically eco-correct world citizens in the global work force. To
this end, Obama proposes (1) preschool for all at the earliest possible
age and (2) redesign of America’s high schools.[7]

Conclusion

Historically,
the impact of the Enlightenment has been profoundly felt; however, not
without divine counter: When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit
of the LORD lifts up a standard against him.[8]
Throughout the decades of America’s history, revival and renewal,
coupled with salt-and-light ministry of a faithful remnant church, have
shed light on darkness.

Arguably,
Lincoln's ever-evolving faith shaped the course of America. Thankfully,
his journey with God eventually brought Lincoln to biblical appreciation
and understandings. Toward the end of his life, Lincoln’s concern
was not whether God was on the side of the Union, but rather whether
“this nation should be on the Lord’s side."[9]
Today’s State of the Union depends more on our national response
to this challenge than it does on twenty-nine new programs reflective
of an enlightened age of reason.

Empowering
plutocratic global oversight in the name of “the common good”
may well complement Thomas Paine’s core message—“My
country is the world; my religion is to do good”—but it
undercuts “government of the people, by the people, and for the
people.” Only when our nation experiences a new birth of freedom
under God will she escape socialist global governance. Otherwise, her
lot is to perish from the earth.[10]
